Volunteer at Claremont Landscape Garden

If you're looking for something new to do, why not try volunteering at Claremont? Volunteering is a great way to hone your skills, stay social and contribute to the preservation of our beautiful landscape. Here are just some of the many varied roles you could be doing...

Do you love the story of Princess Charlotte and all things Georgian? Could you help us raise money to restore Leopold's royal railings? We'd love to hear from you.

Green fingers? Thumbs up

Our small team of just three full-time gardeners have a huge job to do, looking after 49 acres of historic, Grade I-listed landscape. Helping as a volunteer gardener is a great way to get out into the fresh air and make a tangible difference. You don't need years of experience - just enthusiasm and a fair level of fitness.

Admin heroes

If you feel more comfortable behind a keyboard than in front of a wood chipper, you could be helping our friendly office team keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. And it doesn't all have to be paperwork - we often need help with creative stuff like making up examples of children's crafts, or making cups of tea for 80 violinists!

"
As a volunteer at Claremont I have enjoyed a variety of rewarding experiences, helping provide children with exciting, stimulating and educational activities whilst creating a welcoming and happy atmosphere for the whole family."

- Rosemary McCarthy, Volunteer Visitor Services Assistant

Events elves

We run a full programme of events for the family all year round. Fancy being Father Christmas, demonstrating the endless things you can make with a stick, or painting teacups with tots? There are tons of opportunities for you to get involved and have some fun.

Tour guides

If history's your thing, spread your enthusiasm to others by joining us as a garden guide. Help us keep the fascinating and tragic stories of royal Claremont alive, and inspire others to learn more.

Friendly fundraisers

Do you love meeting and chatting to people? Then we need you! Help us engage visitors with our cause by talking about our work, selling raffle tickets and encouraging donations.

"
Volunteering is fulfilling; I get to see special places, sometimes behind the scenes and learn about what is not in the guidebooks."

- James Duffy, Volunteer Photographer

Photo luminaries

If you're a bit of a shutterbug, you could help us show the world how beautiful Claremont really is. Shoot breathtaking landscapes, document our conservation work, or even capture a rare kingfisher or roe deer.

Social media maestros

Our Facebook and Twitter channels are important ways of connecting with our supporters. Could you help write posts that inspire visits and engage community members?

Catering champions

Our busy café is the hub of social activity at Claremont. With thousands of visitors passing through during peak periods, our hardworking café staff always appreciate an extra hand.
